Transcriptome changes in the cambial region of poplar (Populus alba L.) in response to water deficit
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: A transcriptome analysis of P. alba cambial zone was performed with the aim to unravel the gene network underlying the response to water deficit within the cambium and the differentiating derivatives cambial cells. Water stress was induced on one-year-old plant of Populus alba by withholding water for 9 days. At that time, leaf Ψpd fell down to -0,8 MPa resulting in a significant reduction of the stomatal conductance, CO2 assimilation, consistent increment of stem shrinkage and cessation of the radial growth. These effects were almost fully reversed by re-hydration. The water deficit resulted in changes in gene expression that affected a few functional categories as protein metabolism, cell wall metabolism, stress response, transporters and transcriptional regulation. The function of up- and down-regulated genes is discussed considering the physiological response of the plants to water deficit. Three-condition experiment, Stress vs. Control, Re-hydrated vs. Stress and Re-hydrated vs Control. Each sample consists of a pool of two plants independently grown and harvested. Two technical replicates are performed for each of the three treatments. One swap replicate per array.

Project description:A zebra mussel byssus cDNA microarray was used to identify the differentially expressed genes between attachment and detachment. Keywords: Gene differential expression The zebra mussels were divided in to two groups: AT and DT. In group AT all the zebra mussels were kept in the water attached for 48 hours while in group DT, the individuals were kept detached underwater for 48 hours. The feet of the zebra mussels were taken from each group. Four replicates, including four individual feet each replicate, were taken from each group for total RNA extraction. Four microarray hybridization performed between AT and DE. In each group, two cDNA replicates were labeled with Alexa 555 while the other two were labeled with Alexa 647. Every hybridization happened between two cDNA samples from different group with different labels.

Project description:affy_popsec_orleans_poplar - xyleme - This project aims to identify candidate genes for water deficit acclimation and/or adaptation in a tree species: poplar. Due to compelling evidence that transcriptional regulation plays a major role in regulating many biological processes, we will look for genes and gene expression networks related to drought stress. We intend to analyse the transcriptome in two poplar genotypes of contrasted tolerance to water deficit, at various stages and intensities of stress and simultaneously in whole xylem and cambial zone from young trees. The co-analysis of two genotypes of contrasted tolerance to water deficit should allow to better discriminating genes presenting a potential adaptative character from genes responding passively to the constraint. The consideration of both whole xylem and cambial zone will enable us to discriminate between regulations events originating from very young xylem cells undergoing their first steps of xylem differentiation (cambial zone) compared to whole xylem sample enriched in more differentiated xylem cells and parenchyma ray cells.-Two poplar clones, named Soligo (S) and Carpaccio (C) were submitted to 4 treatments: non-stressed control, severe-drought stress, mild-drought stress and early-drought stress. Two pools of 2 or 3 trees were considered as biological replicates. Two different samples were collected on each individual tree: whole stem xylem (X) and cambial zone plus very young expanding xylem (Y). Total RNAs were extracted from each tree and assemble in pool of 3 or 2 individuals using equimolar ratio for each X and for Y. One affymetrix slide corresponds to one pooled RNA sample (X or Y). A total number of slides : 4 treatments x 2 clones x 2 tissues x 2 biological replicates (pool) = 32 slides, will be done.

Project description:Abnormal epigenetic gene regulation may play a pivotal role in atherogenesis. In particular, global DNA hypomethylation potentially leading to proatherogenic gene expression, occurs in atherosclerotic lesions in humans and animal models. In order to identify genomic sequences targeted for DNA hypomethylation in atherosclerosis, we analysed the methylation status of CpG islands (CGIs) in 45 human arteries with advanced atherosclerotic lesions and 16 normal counterparts by a microarray approach. Methylation data for 10,367 CGIs revealed that a subset (1.5%) of such sequences was hypermethylated in normal arteries, in accordance with data previously obtained in peripheral blood cells. Ninety-four per cent of this CGI subset was demethylated in atherosclerotic tissue, while only 17 of normally hypomethylated CGIs was hypermethylated in diseased tissue. A functional classification of genes physically associated with differentially methylated CGIs revealed a bias towards transcription factors (42%). The latter include HOX members, NOTCH1 and FOXP1, which are known to regulate angiogenesis, dedifferentiation, cell migration and macrophage function. The methylation status of selected CGIs was validated in further 10 subjects for either group. Expression patterns of these factors were compatible with the observed differential methylation. Our data suggest that one of the molecular changes associated with aberrant DNA methylation in advanced atherosclerosis is the regulation of critical transcription factor genes for the induction of a proatherogenic cellular phenotype. Two-condition experiment, i.e. normal vs. atherosclerotic arteries. 16 and 45 normal and atherosclerotic samples, respectively, were pooled and used to interrogate CpG island arrays in triplicate, for a total of six arrays. Each array was co-hybridized with untreated DNA (reference) and hypermethylated DNA obtained by biochemical filtration.
